Re: [nv-l] Traps not converting to variables

["Christopher J Petrina" <cjp8@meadwestvaco.com>]

Currently I ahve a PMR open about this
issue.  I sent Level 2 the mib the mib2trap trap file and my trapd.conf.
 It seems that I get conflicting responses from them and here.  They
are saying it works fine on their systems.  They are receiving the
textual equivalent of the enum value.  Below is a short description
of one of the traps that I am seeing doing this.

This is what the event looks like in
the event window:

Thu Sep 30 14:53:07 2004 10.40.137.254
  A sensorProbe 6 10 6 args:  [1] akcp.sensorProbe.sensorProbeTraps.spSensorStatus.0
(Integer): 5
 [2] akcp.sensorProbe.sensorProbeTraps.spSensorValue.0
(Integer): 75
 [3] sensorProbeTraps.spSensorLevelExceeded.0
(Integer): 75
 [4] akcp.sensorProbe.sensorProbeTraps.spSensorIndex.0
(Integer): 0
 [5] akcp.sensorProbe.sensorProbeTraps.spSensorName.0
(OctetString): Temperature1
 [6] sensorProbe.sensorProbeTraps.spSensorDescription.0
(OctetString): Test Temp in Trudi's Lab

2 - 6 are fine since the data they show
are actual numeric values.  It is the $1 arg of 5 that I would have
expected to see be a textual name of sensorStatus a value of 1 - 5.  in
the trapd.conf it looks like this:

spTemperatureStatus {1.3.6.1.4.1.3854.1}
6 10 A 1 0 "Status Events"
$E $G $S $# args: $*
EVENT_CLASS hhmsTemperatureStatus
SDESC
Temperature sensor trap
EDESC
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The mib shows this:
 spTemperatureStatus TRAP-TYPE
           
    ENTERPRISE sensorProbe
           
    VARIABLES
           
            { spSensorStatus, spSensorValue,
spSensorLevelExceeded,
         spSensorIndex,
spSensorName, spSensorDescription }
           
    DESCRIPTION
           
            "Temperature sensor trap"
           
    ::= 10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it uses variables
 spSensorStatus OBJECT-TYPE
           
SYNTAX  INTEGER {
           
   noStatus(1),
           
   normal(2),
           
   highWarning(3),
           
   highCritical(4),
           
   lowWarning(5),
           
   lowCritical(6),
           
   sensorError(7)

I figured that it would display the
varaible name versus the actual integer.   
If the integer is the correct value
and that is all I am going to receive what is the easiest way in anyones
opinion to replace the integer with a name.  Would something like
an inline action help?   write a script that receives the information
then do some if then statements to post it forward onto TEC via postzmsg?
